I was replying to the claims on big tech company policies. Jordana Cutler appears to be an internal advocate for reducing antisemitism on the Meta platform. They don't set policy. There are many similar roles for many different groups, it's how the company tries to hear more points of view before making policy changes.

We can only judge big tech company policy based on its declaration or application. So far I see no supported criticisms of either, though I am open to them.

Meta is one of the worst for silencing ("downranking" or outright removing) pro-Palestinian content [1]. That's what Cutler is bragging about.

But it would be a mistake to single out Meta here. All these big tech companies move in lockstep with US foreign policy to appease the administration to get approvals for mergers, to end investigations and antitrust suits, to get government contracts and so on.
